Dan + Shay have returned with “Say So,” an deeply personal and emotionally heavy single released in April 2026 that tackles themes of mental health and suicide prevention. Written alongside Jimmy Robbins and David Hodges, the song was inspired by the loss of a close friend & serves as a heartfelt reminder to reach out for help when times are dark, emphasizing that it is okay not to be okay.

The duo, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, shared that this new music stems from their most inspired creative burst yet, featuring some of their most honest songwriting. “Say So” is designed to offer comfort and strength, with lyrics focusing on lifting each other up and providing unconditional support through life’s hardest struggles. A music video for the song, directed by Smyers, was released to accompany the single.
